More timer help

[almost cool]

This is supposed to show a box with the time left in it, but it doesnt do anything. Not even an error.

cl_init.lua

function ShowTimer()
Local Roundcount = (Rounds * 240)
local RoundEnd = (RealTime() + Roundcount)

	if (CurTime() == RoundEnd) then
	Switch()
	else
		draw.RoundedBox(3, 5, 5, 200, 100, Color(51, 58, 51, 255))
		draw.SimpleText(RoundEnd, "ScoreboardText", ScrW() / 2, ScrH() - 63, Color(86, 104, 86, 230), ALIGN_CENTER, ALIGN_TOP)
	end
end
hook.Add( "Think", "ShowTheTimer", ShowTimer)

init.lua

function Switch(p, key) 
		if ( p:Team( )== TEAM_BARRELS ) then
		p:Kill( )
		p:SetTeam( TEAM_HUMANS )
		p:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK,"Teams have been switched! You're now on the humans team.");
		p:SprintEnable ()
		p:AddFrags(1)
		else
		p:Kill( )
		p:SetTeam( TEAM_BARRELS )
		p:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK,"Teams have been switched! You're now on the barrels team.");
		p:SprintDisable ()
		p:AddFrags(1)
		Rounds = (Rounds + 1)
		end
                end

You cant call a serverside function like that on client

[almost cool]

So do I just copy and paste it into shared?

It doesn't work like that, client and server are completely different instances of Lua. You need to use usermessages/concommands to communicate between them.

Make one timer on the the server to run the function and one timer on the client to show how long till timer on server is done

Now I tried this, and it still didnt do anything.

cl_init.lua

function ShowTimer()
local RoundEnd = (240 - RealTime())

draw.RoundedBox(3, 5, 5, 200, 100, Color(51, 58, 51, 255))
draw.SimpleText(RoundEnd, "ScoreboardText", ScrW() / 2, ScrH() - 63, Color(86, 104, 86, 230), ALIGN_CENTER, ALIGN_TOP)

end
hook.Add( "Think", "ShowTheTimer", ShowTimer)

init.lua

function Switch(p, key) 
		if ( p:Team( )== TEAM_BARRELS ) then
		p:Kill( )
		p:SetTeam( TEAM_HUMANS )
		p:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK,"Teams have been switched! You're now on the humans team.");
		p:SprintEnable ()
		p:AddFrags(1)
		else
		p:Kill( )
		p:SetTeam( TEAM_BARRELS )
		p:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK,"Teams have been switched! You're now on the barrels team.");
		p:SprintDisable ()
		p:AddFrags(1)
		timer.Simple( 240, Switch )
		end
end

try this
[lua]
function ShowTimer()
local RoundEnd = 240
draw.RoundedBox(3, 5, 5, 200, 100, Color(51, 58, 51, 255))
if CurTime() + RoundEnd < CurTime() then
draw.SimpleText("Round Over", "ScoreboardText", ScrW() / 2, ScrH() - 63, Color(86, 104, 86, 230), ALIGN_CENTER, ALIGN_TOP)
else
draw.SimpleText(string.ToMinutesSeconds(CurTime() + RoundEnd - CurTime()), "ScoreboardText", ScrW() / 2, ScrH() - 63, Color(86, 104, 86, 230), ALIGN_CENTER, ALIGN_TOP)

end
end
hook.Add( "HUDPaint", "ShowTheTimer", ShowTimer)
[/lua]

Untested and wrote in quick reply but it should work

[almost cool]

That works! thx
